Hello from New York

[nydiver7275]

Hello everyone,

Born and raised in New York and I'm a huge aviation buff. I got into drones five years ago when I bought a Mavic mini. Had a blast flying it and upgraded to a 3 classic. I came here to chat and learn from other folks who love droning. I also got into photography using my drone and making little videos. Id also love to maybe meet and go fly with people in my area.
I especially love WW1 and have had an obsession with Manfred von Richthofen since I was a chid and my dad took me to The old Rhinebeck Aerodrome.

My Grandfather was in the Scottish Gordon Highlanders in World War I, then called the "Great War" as they did not know they needed to number them then… My Grandfather probably also had "an obsession with Manfred von Richthofen" but for a whole bunch of different reasons…



His regiment was a machine gunning unit, and I imagine he took more than a passing fancy to any German aircraft flying overhead…

If I remember my history correctly, the Red Baren ultimately was killed by a solitary British soldier with his Enfield, firing a single shot… The bullet entered von Richthofen right arm and passed thorough his lungs. He was able to land his plane, but soon died… For years, a Canadian pilot claimed he shot the Red Baron down and it was not until long after the war that the real story came out…

Fly Safe and don't get shot down…
